It was brought up to me about the possibility of maybe teaching a bracelet making class for others. Most likely adults around college age and a older. I want to make sure they understand the basics. I'm not sure the skill level of these possible students but I want some ideas of a couple of starter bracelet patterns where they can learn the basic knots and go from there. I'd like to show them a simple alpha pattern too if possible. That way they can see the difference between the two basic types.

This is all just a hypothetical thing as of this moment but I figured I'd ask way in advance to get some ideas going. 🙂

If I were you I’d start out with a chevron or a candy stripe because those seem to be the most beginner friendly patterns 🙂

#7954 and #56135 (same thing, different size) was the second bracelet I did. They use all 4 knots and it’s a super easy pattern to memorize and segment knot. Almost a chevron but a step up. It’s also really easy to do a loop start and triangle end! I like the color patterns where there are 2 hues (like brown and green or pink and blue) that go from light to dark in each hue with the lightest of each together progressing in a gradient to the dark shades, you use any color combinations though! The pattern doesn’t change with the number of strings you choose to use so the class participants can have more freedom without extra instruction.

first I would teach them a larks knot, forward knot, backwards knot, fb knot, and bf knots and what they look like in a pattern
start with...
normals- do your first patterns in this order, start with a chevron, braided stitch, heart, arrowhead then continue gradually moving up in the amount of string and difficulty...
